Michael Semb Wever commented on CASSANDRA-16161:
------------------------------------------------
bq. This could almost be classified as a bug. In conf/cassandra.yaml it states
for compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec: "Note that this account for all types of
compaction, including validation compaction"
I am keen on making this a bug and throttling validation compactions under
{{compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec}}, as the existing documentation says it
already does. But have some questions, like some of the past discussion in
CASSANDRA-3635. There are differences between clusters on how validation and
normal compactions interact, with each using resources differently: validations
use more cpu and only read IO compared to normal compactions.
If validation compactions are made to honour
{{compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec}}, what impact might that have on existing
clusters? (particularly those unsuspecting to such a change in a patch
upgrade). If there are users that are dependent on validation compactions being
unthrottled and completing faster than other compactions, how would they
achieve that after this change?
